Penn Foster for an actual degree - icampy - 11-21-2016
Has anyone here gotten an actual degree from PF? Will they let you transfer in credits? The reason I ask is that there are more than 2 degrees I'm wanting, and was considering using them for other degrees (mostly for my own interest) than TESU. I am awaiting TESU to do an evaluation so I can map my plan out, but it looks like I might do 2 associates and 2 bachelor's from TESU. I was thinking I could do the business bachelors from PF. I know its not RA and whatnot, but I will already have multiple RA degrees so that won't hurt me. The degrees I want from TESU will probably not include one of their business degrees.
They have interesting associate's degrees at PF also, I have gone through one of their career diplomas and it was enjoyable until I quit it. The "degree hoarding" thread just got me thinking.
So has anyone gotten a degree from PF and will they allow you to pursue them if you already have 2 associates and 2 bachelors? Thanks!
eeya:And a quick summary for the people who don't read and will tell me not to pursue a NA degree......I will already achieved RA degrees from TESU at the point in time that I will consider PF for anything :-)

I'm thinking along the same thing. What are your TESU degree's going to be in?
There's no harm in doing the PF degrees, especially if you take all ACE recommended for credit courses...
Everything would be transferable to at least 2000+ colleges/universities...

Deac doesn't restrict the amount of degrees you can have. PF would gladly let you continue to hoard more degrees.

If all goes as planned......
Bachelors in Technical Studies
Bachelors in History
Bachelors in Business
Associate's in mechanics and maintenance
Associates in engineering technology
Associate's in machine tool technology (if my old CC hasn't changed the requirements around)
assicoate's in some kind of electrical field
hilarious
I am still narrowing down as you can see. The history degree and electrical and engineering ones would be for myself, just because.

You are my hero. I would also like to hoard degrees, I have unofficially 2 down and more to go. I read someone wanted 10 degrees on this board and so would I. #MAGA

Spending time on this forum makes me want to get a few more degrees too - I'm living vicariously through my son as I help him research. I got my masters in criminology back in 1996 - I had a PhD fellowship but ended up with a job offer I couldn't refuse doing the work I really wanted to do, so I left after my masters instead of sticking around for the PhD. An additional degree would do absolutely nothing for me, but it would be fun to get it "just because" - I wonder, though, if it would make more sense to get another masters than another bachelors, if i wanted to do it just for the hell of it?

That's what I would like to do, is to pursue more education past the Bachelors level.
My goals are simple actually, just to ladder up...
2 Associates, 2 Bachelors, and Three Masters
Current Goal: TESU ASBA and ASNSM Biology (December 2016)
Short Term Goal: TESU BSBA Gen. Man. or CIS & Marketing (Early 2017)
Long Term Goal: WGU BSIT - Network Admin or Security (Late 2017)
Final Goal: Patten MBA IT, Hodges MIS, or WGU MS CIA (Late 2018)
